Well he was one of the millions
|
who signed up to defend us
|
long ago in 1941
|
when they sucker punched us in Pearl Harbor
|
he fought under Macarthur seventeen with an army Thompson gun
|
|
Well he stormed a lot of beaches slept in jungles with the leaches
|
he saw things young man should never see
|
and when they shot him in the shoulder
|
he got back up and he marched over
|
left a lot of brothers dead in kawagalie
|
|
If it wasn't for the good lord and the man
|
there wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land
|
and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam
|
I hope they always remember why they can
|
cause we'd all be speakin' German livin' under the flag of Japan
|
if it wasn't for the good lord and the man
|
if it wasn't for the good lord and the man
|
|
Well I'm the grandson of a soldier and I'd fight the whole world over
|
if duty called and freedoms on the line
|
but thanks to the greatest generation and the ones still fighting for our nation
|
I've never had to kill for my way of life
|
|
If it wasn't for the good lord and the man
|
there wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land
|
and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam
|
I hope they always remember why they can
|
cause we'd all be speakin' German livin' under flag of Japan
|
if it wasn't for the good lord and the man
|
|
if it wasn't for the good lord and the man
|
there wouldn't be a breath of freedom in this land
|
and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam
|
I hope they always remember why they can
|
cause we'd all be speakin' German livin' under flag of Japan
|
if it wasn't for the good lord and the man
|
if it wasn't for the good lord and the man
